Sub install in spare tire well

Just wanted to know if anyone has done it. I scaled back from 2 Eclipse Ti's 12" to one. Currently I'm using a 1.5^3ft box. I was considering making an enclosure to fit into the spare tire well, but am unsure as to how it will sound. From what I have read, the optimum sub placement is either directly towards or away from the cab. I'd like to know if anyone has done a similar install and if they are satisfied with the sound.

Thanks

uhh, that space is occupied by your spare tire. Where would you put your spare?

You NEED a spare tire on your car in case of emergency.

I am dropping 2 Eclipse Aluminum 12's in my spare tire compartment on Saturday...Cwally had it in his Max and he hit close to 150 db's with it... I have heard it in person , and it rocks for sure. If you're running Titaniums, OMG !

..Just curious what you are powering them with ?
Ballers dont need spare tires...

Hmmm, looks a lot like Carlos' stuff? Hey, did you steal his old stuff? You are both in Diego.... My setup is very much like that, just with more centered subs, and they're aluminum too. Congrats on the pickup Kloog

Spare tires are overrated. That's what AAA if for. Also, if you are lowered, riding on a donut sized spare tire isn't too smart.

I'd do the same thing, but I already have hearing trouble as it is.

For the Ti's, or rather Ti I've been using Kicker ZR1000. It puts out about 1000 WRMS @ 4 ohm

why can't yuo just throw the tire in a corner on top, and make like a bracket or something so it won't float around?

i'd keep the spare just in case, ballers always call triple a and get flatbedded at 3am ? : P
